Optimizing restoration techniques on historic masonry walls
Given the increasing demand for strategies aiming at the protection of the structural cultural heritage, developing sustainable methodologies for the use… Read more
Multiple river response to restoration and climate change
The UK’s climate is becoming wetter, with rain from extremely wet days increasing by 17%, comparing the period 2008-2017 to 1961-1990. Read more
The role of grazing in ecosystem service delivery in saltmarsh restoration schemes
Managed realignment, where coastal flood defences are breached or lowered to introduce tidal inundation to the coastal hinterland, is becoming an increasingly popular approach to coastal management to restore saltmarsh environments and compensate for habitat and ecosystem service loss elsewhere. Read more
MScR: Species-rich grassland creation – analysis of soil samples.
Since World War II, approximately 97% of species-rich lowland meadows in the UK have been lost due to land use changes. Attempts to restore such biodiverse habitats, through agri-environment schemes and restoration of derelict land, indicate that soil conditions are often key influences on biodiversity. Read more
The relationship between vegetation and morphology in saltmarsh restoration schemes
Managed realignment, where coastal flood defences are breached or lowered to introduce tidal inundation to the coastal hinterland, is becoming an increasingly popular approach to coastal management to restore saltmarsh environments and compensate for habitat and ecosystem service loss elsewhere.

Restoration of microbial homeostasis as a novel intervention for immune ageing
With falling birth rates and increasing life expectancy we are an ageing population. This would be a cause for celebration if it were not for the fact that the period we spend in good health, healthspan, is not keeping pace with increased lifespan. Read more
QUADRAT DTP: Cultural landscape values and aesthetics of beaver-modified landscapes – a cross-cultural comparison
The United Nations Biodiversity Conference (COP15) highlighted the urgent action needed to reverse global biodiversity loss, adopting a Global Biodiversity Framework that stipulates restoring 30% of ecosystems by 2030. Read more
Identifying policy barriers to the uptake of rewilding – a social-ecological approach

PhD in land-based CO2 removal strategies for climate change mitigation
Drastic and rapid emission reductions and the use of carbon dioxide (CO2) removal (CDR) technologies are essential for meeting the Paris Agreement on Climate and net-zero commitments (IPCC, 2021). Read more
Exploring the psychological impact of historic architecture
There is a wealth of research showing the benefits of natural environments on physical and psychological health and this has arguably led to a perception that nature is “good”, and the built environment is “bad”. Read more
Circular Economy Transitions in Tourism
The topic seeks to establish the current adoption of circular economy (CE) practice in tourism and identify strategies for accelerating the implementation of circularity within the sector. Read more
Monitoring and evaluation indicators for just transition to net zero in tourism and events
The topic seeks to establish the current adoption of socially just, circular and regenerative practices within tourism and events. Read more
Understanding the Scottish rural land market in the context of the climate and biodiversity crises
Research Group:
The Urban Institute
Project Aim. This project aims to enhance our understanding of the nature and role of the Scottish rural land market and how this influences not just land ownership patterns but also land use and management practices. Read more
Development of a gene activated construct targeting proinflammatory signalling to promote zonal regeneration of osteoarthritic cartilage
Current treatments fail to effectively repair cartilage and typically only delay the injury associated joint degeneration that leads to post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PT-OA). Read more
